There is Hope . . . even if I cannot see it yet there is a different life possible . . . even now
a life, where my brain does not burn a life, with No hallucinations a life, where I am happy and free there is Hope . . . even if I cannot see it yet
I have been a prisoner I have been a slave to drugs I have been high and crashed again and again . . . and again each time worse than the last
I am weary . . . and sad
anger has been my companion rage often bubbles within me ugly gifts of the dope
Hope . . . are you still there?
Yes, Hope is here . . . put the dope down and you will see me . . . and feel me within you you have been in pain . . . for way too long Hope can heal you . . . if you let it
You deserve forgiveness and freedom no matter what you have done in the past You deserve hope and recovery . . . and peace put the dope down now . . . and ask for help You deserve to be free . . . and safe now Hope will replace shame within you

PETTINESS PRAYER
Keep us, oh God, from pettiness. Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed. Let us be done with fault finding & leave off self-seeking. May we put away all pettiness & meet each other face to face, without self-pity & without prejudice.
May we always be patient, never hasty in judgement & always tolerant. Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward & unafraid.
Let us take time for all things; make us calm, serene & gentle. Grant that we may realize it is the little things in life that create differences, That in the big things of life we are as one and may we strive to touch and to know the great common heart of us all.
And oh God, let us not forget to be kind.
